Failure

Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

In science

Wired Magazine editor Kevin Kelly likewise explains that a great deal can be learned from things going unexpectedly, and that part of science's success comes from keeping blunders "small, manageable, constant, and trackable". He uses the example of engineers and programmers who push systems to their limits, breaking them to learn about them. Kelly also warns against creating a culture (e.g. school system) that punishes failure harshly, because this inhibits a creative process, and risks teaching people not to communicate important failures with others (e.g. Null results).

Criteria

The criteria for failure are heavily dependent on context of use, and may be relative to a particular observer or belief system. A situation considered to be a failure by one might be considered a success by another, particularly in cases of direct competition or a zero-sum game. Similarly, the degree of success or failure in a situation may be differently viewed by distinct observers or participants, such that a situation that one considers to be a failure, another might consider to be a success, a qualified success or a neutral situation.

TED (conference)

TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a global set of conferences run by the private non-profitSapling Foundation, under the slogan "Ideas Worth Spreading". The emphasis is on the entertainment aspect. TED was founded in 1984 as a one-off event; the annual conference series began in 1990. TED's early emphasis was technology and design, consistent with its Silicon Valley origins, but it has since broadened its focus to include talks on many scientific, cultural, and academic topics.

As an academic area of inquiry, the study of leadership has been of interest to scholars from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds. Today, there are numerous academic programs (spanning several academic colleges and departments) related to the study of leadership. Leadership degree programs generally relate to: aspects of leadership, leadership studies, and organizational leadership (although there are a number of leadership-oriented concentrations in other academic areas).

Leadership in higher education

Leadership has become one of the fastest growing academic fields in higher education At all levels, undergraduate through doctoral, an increasing number of colleges and universities have begun developing not only individual courses, but entire degree programs specifically devoted to the study of leadership.

History

Columbia College, Columbia University admitted only men for undergraduate study for 229 years. Barnard College was founded to provide an undergraduate education for women comparable to that of Columbia and other Ivy League schools. The college was named after Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard, an American educator and mathematician, who served as the tenth president of Columbia from 1864 to 1889. He advocated equal educational privileges for men and women, preferably in a coeducational setting, and began proposing in 1879 that Columbia admit women.

My entrepreneurial failures | Maneesh Garg | TEDxIfe

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Maneesh Garg runs a multi-million dollar company in Nigeria. But his story has not always been spectacular. In this talk, he speaks about being arrested, detained, duped and losing billions of Naira. His talk would attract would-be entrepreneurs.
Maneesh Garg was born on 29th April1971 in Nairobi Kenya. His family moved to Nigeria in 1975 and he did his early schooling in Lagos. Later on he went to the UK for further studies and obtained his degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at the University of Oxford, UK. Subsequently He obtained his Master’s Degree in Economics at the North Western University, US. He had a brief stint at the World Bank, Washington DC before coming back to Nigeria in order to pursue his life long dream of entrepreneurship.

Why you have to fail to have a great career: Michael Litt at TEDxUW

http://tedxuw.com/speakers
Some people start their careers slowly, while others start with a bang. Michael Litt's case is definitely the latter: the serial entrepreneur's first venture comprising the import and re-sale of firecrackers to his fifth-grade classmates. But if the story were to be told from beginning to end, Litt would be the first to admit that his path has actually involved a number of "bangs" -- including some which didn't quite work out in his favour -- a fair number of nervous moments, and lot of plain, old-fashioned hard work.
Early in his university career, Michael looked to be heading down a path familiar to many Waterloo engineers, securing co-op placements at Research in Motion -- but it's what he accomplished after his first couple of years that made him stand out as a talented entrepreneur. After a spell as a day- trader, an aborted attempt at running a biodiesel refinery (during which he once used a bathroom hand dryer to un-freeze a jar of biodiesel minutes before a sales pitch), and an anonymous stint publishing a highlytrafficked blog which featured teardowns of new phones, Litt was focused on building revenue and he knew he wanted to start a business.
Fortunately, one of Litt's trades had put a little money in his pocket, and, with a little help from the subprime mortgage market, he was able to purchase a house and fill it with other budding entrepreneurs. This environment, now known as BataviaHouse, fostered the drive and motivation he needed to take the next step, and it wasn't long before he founded his current company, Vidyard, an organization helping businesses and individuals easily and effectively host videos on their websites.
A Waterloo native, Michael believes in the region's ability to attract and retain talent, and believes the local tech industry will only continue to grow. As it grows, Litt will continue to be an interested observer, albeit one with the experience to back up his words. "It's really interesting to see how things are developing," he says, "especially since my failures have defined my career and current position." It's an outlook that's bound to be part of any discussion about the future -- a discussion that Litt hopes to be a part of at TEDxUW.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? In his talk, Caleb puts this question forward to the audience and emphasises that there is value in failure. Caleb talks about his journey of overcoming fear through his 40 days challenge, a project in which he takes on challenges that people deem impossible and documents it on Youtube, sharing his experiences with the world. Through this incredible journey, Caleb explains that fear of failure can stop us from pursuing what we are passionate about, and that facing our fears helps to develop courage, strength and character. Giving ourselves permission to fail frees us up to dream, it frees us to go for things you might never have dreamt of going for.
Caleb Meakins graduated from University with a Masters in Civil Engineering, however after winning the Social EnterpriseAward at his University he decided to embark on a career trying to start businesses. He quickly realised the crippling effect of the fear of failure and launched My 40 Days; a social project that attempts to tackle the stigma attached to failing. The project has taken him to sports stadiums, red carpets and even earned him Milkround's 'Graduate of the Year' award. Caleb now goes round the country speaking to companies, universities and schools.

What I learned from 100 days of rejection | Jia Jiang

Jia Jiang adventures boldly into a territory so many of us fear: rejection. By seeking out rejection for 100 days -- from asking a stranger to borrow $100 to requesting a "burger refill" at a restaurant -- Jiang desensitized himself to the pain and shame that rejection often brings and, in the process, discovered that simply asking for what you want can open up possibilities where you expect to find dead ends.

Jia Jiang adventures boldly into a territory so many of us fear: rejection. By seeking out rejection for 100 days -- from asking a stranger to borrow $100 to requesting a "burger refill" at a restaurant -- Jiang desensitized himself to the pain and shame that rejection often brings and, in the process, discovered that simply asking for what you want can open up possibilities where you expect to find dead ends.

Why you have to fail to have a great career: Michael Litt at TEDxUW

http://tedxuw.com/speakers
Some people start their careers slowly, while others start with a bang. Michael Litt's case is definitely the latter: the serial entrepreneur's first venture comprising the import and re-sale of firecrackers to his fifth-grade classmates. But if the story were to be told from beginning to end, Litt would be the first to admit that his path has actually involved a number of "bangs" -- including some which didn't quite work out in his favour -- a fair number of nervous moments, and lot of plain, old-fashioned hard work.
Early in his university career, Michael looked to be heading down a path familiar to many Waterloo engineers, securing co-op placements at Research in Motion -- but it's what he accomplished after his first couple of years that made him stand out as a talented entrepreneur. After a spell as a day- trader, an aborted attempt at running a biodiesel refinery (during which he once used a bathroom hand dryer to un-freeze a jar of biodiesel minutes before a sales pitch), and an anonymous stint publishing a highlytrafficked blog which featured teardowns of new phones, Litt was focused on building revenue and he knew he wanted to start a business.
Fortunately, one of Litt's trades had put a little money in his pocket, and, with a little help from the subprime mortgage market, he was able to purchase a house and fill it with other budding entrepreneurs. This environment, now known as BataviaHouse, fostered the drive and motivation he needed to take the next step, and it wasn't long before he founded his current company, Vidyard, an organization helping businesses and individuals easily and effectively host videos on their websites.
A Waterloo native, Michael believes in the region's ability to attract and retain talent, and believes the local tech industry will only continue to grow. As it grows, Litt will continue to be an interested observer, albeit one with the experience to back up his words. "It's really interesting to see how things are developing," he says, "especially since my failures have defined my career and current position." It's an outlook that's bound to be part of any discussion about the future -- a discussion that Litt hopes to be a part of at TEDxUW.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? In his talk, Caleb puts this question forward to the audience and emphasises that there is value in failure. Caleb talks about his journey of overcoming fear through his 40 days challenge, a project in which he takes on challenges that people deem impossible and documents it on Youtube, sharing his experiences with the world. Through this incredible journey, Caleb explains that fear of failure can stop us from pursuing what we are passionate about, and that facing our fears helps to develop courage, strength and character. Giving ourselves permission to fail frees us up to dream, it frees us to go for things you might never have dreamt of going for.
Caleb Meakins graduated from University with a Masters in Civil Engineering, however after winning the Social EnterpriseAward at his University he decided to embark on a career trying to start businesses. He quickly realised the crippling effect of the fear of failure and launched My 40 Days; a social project that attempts to tackle the stigma attached to failing. The project has taken him to sports stadiums, red carpets and even earned him Milkround's 'Graduate of the Year' award. Caleb now goes round the country speaking to companies, universities and schools.

The book industry is undergoing rapid changes, and the fallout is just beginning. Seismic industry changes always bring success and opportunity to some, transformation and consolidation to others, and failure to those who get left behind. At no time has publishing been in a similar crossroads, where both content format and the delivery methods are changing at the same time. To survive and thrive in publishing today, content must be enabled for flexibility and portability. Publishers are looking to control costs and gain efficiencies in warehousing, print, and physical and digital distribution. Consumers are demanding to read what, how, when, and where they choose. As the pressure to invest in the future of content becomes increasingly important, critical operating and capital investment decisions need to be made quickly to survive. The opportunities are not only there, but growing, and who gets a share, how much and when, is still wide open. Prichard is known for financial turnarounds while executing strategic business shifts.

What I learned from 100 days of rejection | Jia Jiang

Jia Jiang adventures boldly into a territory so many of us fear: rejection. By seeking out rejection for 100 days -- from asking a stranger to borrow $100 to requesting a "burger refill" at a restaurant -- Jiang desensitized himself to the pain and shame that rejection often brings and, in the process, discovered that simply asking for what you want can open up possibilities where you expect to find dead ends.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? In his talk, Caleb puts this question forward to the audience and emphasises that there is value in failure. Caleb talks about his journey of overcoming fear through his 40 days challenge, a project in which he takes on challenges that people deem impossible and documents it on Youtube, sharing his experiences with the world. Through this incredible journey, Caleb explains that fear of failure can stop us from pursuing what we are passionate about, and that facing our fears helps to develop courage, strength and character. Giving ourselves permission to fail frees us up to dream, it frees us to go for things you might never have dreamt of going for.
Caleb Meakins graduated from University with a Masters in Civil Engineering, however after winning the Social EnterpriseAward at his University he decided to embark on a career trying to start businesses. He quickly realised the crippling effect of the fear of failure and launched My 40 Days; a social project that attempts to tackle the stigma attached to failing. The project has taken him to sports stadiums, red carpets and even earned him Milkround's 'Graduate of the Year' award. Caleb now goes round the country speaking to companies, universities and schools.

Rethinking collaboration: Cole Hoover at TEDxUIUC

In the fight against global poverty, we don't just need more money or better technology; we need to change the way we think about the problems we are facing. The ultimate way to create sustainable programs that improve lives and promote global equality is through collaborative approaches that respect local knowledge. Cole Hoover is a educator and entrepreneur working to find ways to train the next generation of leaders to actively listen, learn from their mistakes, and most of all to collaborate effectively.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
